When making friends, I am typically more inclined to make friends with women rather than men (I am male). I have a female friend who prefers male friendship also.
What are your experiences of opposite sex friendships? Is this a common experience for you also? Do you have any explanation as to why this might be the case?

Nizche said that friendship between man and woman is possible with a certain degree of physical disgust.
I didn't agree with that point b'coz I used to have only male friends. However later I understood that the definition of 'friendship' I had was different from the original one, and I robbed myself of wonderful, deep and transparent communication with other girls.
First, when I talked to guys it made me feel better, feel beautiful, witty and secure. I think I just satisfied emotional hunger and avoided the reality or emotional insecurity. Communication with people of the same sex is not easy: there is a hint of competition and you tend to be defensive and bored - because your 'needs' are not met in such relationship.
On the other hand, once you understand that you're not perfect and neither are people around you, and that you're still loved just for being who you are, you can afford being transparent, funny, goofy, open and vulnerable - and then you can make wonderful friends of the same gender - those who understand you better and who stay with you after your wedding; those you can see once every 10 years, or every hour.
I would advice you to look for good guy-friends, and to BE a good friend to them. Friendship is one of the best things in this world!
Blessings!

Not knowing your personality or life history, it would be hard for anyone to make an accurate guess as to why we choose the friends in life that we do. I believe that most women tend to be more caring and open to other's problems than many males are. I believe you find friendships in people who you know you can talk to and discuss your problems with which is why you tend to have more female friends than male. Women are more inclined to want to talk about problems and males are good friends when it just comes to BS'in about non important things. This is typical but not always the truth as some males are more emotional than some females and vice versa. That or you just prefer the company of females rather than men. Don't know how well I explained it but hope it helped.

This type of friendship is more like an attraction towards opposite sex than a friendship. In friendship nothing particular about sex is looked in to. Any sex can do, but the friendship depends on to what extent your views tally with your friends. Only like minded persons can be friends.

I typically make better friends with guys than girls, but I think it's because I grew up around more boys so it's just more natural. I also think it's because I hate the drama that usually comes with having female friends.
So, most of my guy friends have mostly girl friends... I'm not sure why this happens, but I think it's perfectly normal. My boyfriend has like one guy friend, and other than that, they're all girls. I think it's mainly because he likes to have conversations, and most of the guys he's been friends with in the past only liked to hang out and play video games or sports and now that my boyfriend is older, he's grown out of that. He likes having people to actually talk to and not just hang out with.
I don't know if any of this really helps you... but I thought I'd share my experience.
Also, I think my b/f can relate more to females because he grew up with his mom and sister and his dad wasn't really around that much when he was a kid. So, naturally, he understands women a little more because he had to relate to them on a regular basis.

My best friend is a male and i know how you feel. The way i look at it is that i find it easier to talk to him then it is talk to my other friends who are girls. I think that in some people weather it be male or female we tend to go for the person we tend to have a connection with.

friendship is friendship and it has nothing to do with the sex.even if it is a guy or gal if that person feels good to be and friendly get in touch and be friends forever...... dont worry u can make with ne1 though it is a gal or a guy.there will be sum kind of attraction if both r of opposite sex. as far as friendship is having a limit its ok.

i prefer male friendships as well and i have a special few of women.... its because of the drama and jealousy factor... males dont have that against women unless they are gay lol...(1 of my gay friends is jealous that women have so much more clothing at a cheaper price) and males have less drama in their lives.. or at least they dont show it

The majority of my friends are male. I personally prefer hanging out with guys as they're not so bitchy amd there's less competition etc. . .
